Reference Note:
After you have completed the installation you should refer to the electronic documents that
were automatically installed onto your hard drive as a part of product support. The default
location is in the
Programs group, which can be accessed from the Windows Desktop.
You should keep your DaqBoard’s serial number and your DaqView authorization code (if applicable)
with this document. Space is provided below for recording up to 4 board numbers and their PCI bus-slot
locations. Board serial numbers stand out clearly as they are printed on white labels. The serial number
locations are located as follows:
o
Boards with P4 (100-pin) connectors: The s/n is located on the P4 connector.
o
Boards with P5 (68-pin) connectors: The s/n is located on the board.
In addition to serial numbers, the boards have device identification labels which read, for example,
“DaqBoard/1000,” “DaqBoard/2001,” “DaqBoard/3005” etc. The name labels are convenient for
users of more than one board type.
